Football video: Wayne Rooney scores on his return to action

Unsurprisingly, Wayne Rooney’s return to action following a hamstring strain has been slightly overshadowed by another comeback this week. But Rooney underlined his importance to Manchester United as he bagged a goal on his return to first-team action against Fulham last night.

Rooney scored the third goal in a comfortable 3-0 victory for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side. Their title rivals would be quaking in their boots if they had any (rivals, not boots!).
